Wildlife Madagascar’s team recently received hands-on training in the production of ecological charcoal briquettes, an initiative that will expand across all four of the organization’s program sites.
By providing a sustainable alternative energy source for local communities, this initiative aims to reduce pressure on Madagascar’s forests and other natural resources. Sincere gratitude goes to Riker Vermilye and the Madagascar Classic Collection (MCC) Mandrare River Camp team for developing and sharing this valuable technique. Wildlife Madagascar is honored to benefit from their expertise as it strengthens its partnership with MCC and its long-term commitment to conserving Madagascar’s extraordinary wildlife and ecosystems.
This initiative represents an important step toward promoting sustainable resource use, reducing deforestation, and supporting more sustainable livelihoods for local communities. Wildlife Madagascar looks forward to working with partners and communities to expand the production and use of ecological charcoal briquettes and further advance conservation efforts across Madagascar.
